earlier this year 2 boys got expelled from my school for going on a teachers email and sending another teacher an email that says “you’re a disgusting little man” and i laugh about it all the time because imagine opening an email from your coworker and thinking it’s important and then it says that

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

[phaeton-flier]

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

Everyone get more educated on bisexual history NOW!!!!

[nonbinaryjudean]

Like I might get shit for this but as a nonbinary person I think it’s sort of weird and transphobic/exorsexist to invent new labels that are “attraction to specific third genders” I’m so sorry. You’re forcing a new binary onto us. Now it’s binary vs nonbinary as if we’ve forgotten gender is a spectrum and a social construct.

Queer identity and community several decades ago was so much freer, less divisive, less label obsessed than it is now and I need all of you to actually engage with the history of queer liberation

I don’t know if this is an obvious take or a hot take, but I think people need to start re-framing feminism as the fight for body autonomy as opposed to whatever this second wave revival gender essentialist bullshit we have going on right now. Once you reframe it in this way, it’s easier to understand intersectionality and why cis women are not the only people who need feminism. The lack of body autonomy effects cis women, trans people, intersex people, disabled people, poc, homeless people, sex workers, etc. and your feminism needs to include and prioritise all of these groups of people (which will include men btw) because feminism is about autonomy, not about establishing a matriarchy. Body autonomy is the biggest threat to the patriarchy, both with reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and even the right to not be drafted into military services. Once body autonomy is established for everyone, the patriarchy no longer has a leg to stand on.

And body autonomy does include things that you don’t personally like either. I was prompted to write this post after a series of bad takes from progressives, but one of them was re-hashing the Sabrina Carpenter album cover drama with “I don’t think it’s conservative of me to think that the album cover is a bad look when we’ve seen images of women being abused in this way” because I do actually think you’ve failed to understand feminism by projecting your morals onto a woman who was consensually expressing her own autonomy just because she expressed it in a way that you didn’t like or that made you uncomfortable.

Body autonomy also means unhealthy choices. Body autonomy also means regret rates. Body autonomy also means freedom of sexuality. Body autonomy also means mutilation. If you believe body autonomy has limitations and exceptions, then your feminism is most likely surface level.

TERFs are some of the biggest opponents to body autonomy, and if you find yourself thinking “oh people can do whatever they want with their bodies as long as it doesn’t harm them or make others uncomfortable” then you are far more susceptible to TERF propaganda than you think.

Time for some Shadowheart Recs! The woman with no memory, who has gods fighting over her soul... the recommended fics below explore so many aspects of the Daughter of Darkness.

a name without a body to match by amorficzna (9988, Mature) Content Notes: None Pairings: Shadowheart/Gale, Shadowheart & Astarion

Shadowheart-focused soulmate AU

Reccer says: I love the unique twist the author put on the soulmate au, and I adore all the character work and interactions in this

nightlight by rowanisawriter (2481, General) Content Notes: None Pairings: Shadowheart/Gale

Shadowheart, in the shadows of Gale’s nightlights. Character study.

Reccer says: Fantastic Shadowheart character study all wrapped into a big extended metaphor of lights and shadows. Lovely prose and beautiful imagery

home by rowanisawriter (2855, General) Content Notes: Identity issues Pairings: Gale/Shadowheart

Shadowheart has no home or a memory of home. Trying to make space for herself in Waterdeep, a place already so filled with Gale's presence , is difficult and upsetting.

Reccer says: I think about this fic periodically when I am trying to find something in the kitchen cabinets. It haunts my narrative a bit now, the way absence haunts hers. Very precise and sweet fic.

Reaching For You by eldritchelf (11490, General) Content Notes: Pairings: Shadowheart/Tav

The Sharran church in Baldur's Gate is to be declared a terrorist organisation and a bounty placed on the head of Mother Superior Shadowheart. Florwyn cannot turn down one last, very final chance, to try and bring her old friend back to the light.

Reccer says: A delectable DJ Shart redemption that will rip your heart out and put it back to together again in ways you didn't know were still possible!

Leap of Faith by lemonwood (113387, Explicit) Content Notes: VERY Slow Burn Pairings: Halsin/Shadowheart

A story about forging new paths, breaking old patterns, and choosing love when the odds are stacked against you. A Shadowheart POV slowburn longfic about being mad at the stupidly kind and emotionally constipated druid.

Reccer says: A whole longfic from the Shadowheart POV and a slow burn! Where she goes from fighting herself to fighting what her past self left behind. And she gets mad at Halsin a lot, which is funny and real.

Cool Me Down, Grease Me Up by CallMeLyrus (35065, Explicit) Content Notes: None Pairings: Shadowheart/Tav

After the AC in Tav's car stops working for the umpteenth time, the head mechanic takes on the task personally in the privacy of an empty garage.

Reccer says: Mechanic shadowheart is everything I didn't know I needed and the whole thing is so fun, surprisingly sweet, and hot!!!

Last Glimpse of the Topsail by positivejam (8800, Explicit) Content Notes: Mind Play BDSM, Femdom Pairings: Gale/Shadowheart

Zone of Truth, cast by one lovesick cleric upon one terribly lovesick wizard. Gale and Shadowheart, good endings but rougher around the edges.

Reccer says: Shadowheart takes charge and is the POV character and she is so sweet and besotted and silly and I love her. Also it is hot. :3

The Fey-Cursed Sea by BardicWantings (81447, Teen) Content Notes: Canon-Typical Violence Pairings: Shadowheart/Lae'zel, Gale/Astarion

It's a post-canon adventure fic where the main companions (sans Karlach) go on a quest to solve the mystery of poisonous magic crabs. Each of them gets an act that continues their in-game storyline, including Shadowheart who's generally a sort of main character here

Reccer says: The author is so good at writing an adventure story and setting up a mystery. The pacing is perfect, the characterisation as well and the fight scenes are always a delight

From Darkness Into Light by Haint_Blue_Moon (13400, Explicit) Content Notes: Serious BDSM--Mind every tag Pairings: Halsin/Shadowheart

In the heart of Shar’s temple, Halsin’s simmering disdain for Shadowheart’s faith collides with a desire he can no longer suppress, leading to a brutal, carnal reckoning that leaves both characters unmoored from their beliefs.

Reccer says: It's hot, in short. Also a very fun look at a dom/sub dynamic that can be cooked between these two. The themes are powerful as well as the smut.

A pet by syrupwit (51900, Explicit) Content Notes: Past Abuse, Identity Crisis Pairings: Astarion/Shadowheart

Astarion turns briefly into a bat and Shadowheart takes care of him in his new ittybitty form. This event triggers her capacity for warmth and care and it changes the course of her relationship with faith, devotion, the shadows, and Shar.

Reccer says: This is a Shadowheart fic where Astarion is fluttering around in the corners like the tiny little bat he (briefly) is and such care is taken with her character it makes my heart swell. I LOVE THIS FIC. RAAGH.

Marks by syrupwit (1743, Teen) Content Notes: Drinking, Mutual Pining Pairings: Astarion/Shadowheart

Shadowheart and Astarion have a sincere and silly moment tipsy in the Gate where she insists she's not that mysterious if you're paying attention.

Reccer says: It's wickedly cute and sincere without giving up a single edge these two characters have in canon.

a little discourse by syrupwit (2000, Explicit) Content Notes: Cunnilingus, Masochism, Service Top Pairings: Gale/Shadowheart

A Galeheart cunnilingus special where Gale provides for god's favorite princess.

Reccer says: It's both hot and very funny and the character voices are so good.

Honey by Carnivaley (10247, Explicit) Content Notes: Mildly dubious consent Pairings: Shadowheart/Enver Gortash

Pre-events of the game, the Sharrans send Shadowheart to investigate the up and coming Enver Gortash.

Reccer says: I liked it!

Shar's Entropy by sometimes angelo (35258, Explicit) Content Notes: Slow Burn, Shar-typical terrors Pairings: Shadowheart/Tav

Csaloka will come to realize she wants to give Shadowheart everything. But the cleric has other ambitions, and she serves a jealous goddess. What might be lost along the way?

Reccer says: An extremely rich and textured look at Shadowheart's journey with loss, her goddess, and the nature of love.

HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY

Visit Original Link

Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...

Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).

[punkrorschach]

happy first day of pride everyone

[draconym]

i would rather see the information for an event handwritten in sharpie on a paper towel than see another AI generated flyer

[aj-living-life]

Saving this post to show my boss who I told the AI flier makes us look lazy and ignorant, and offered to hand draw one. She still printed tons of ai fliers and I'm tempted to make a better one just because it annoys me so much.

[aj-living-life]

Fun update: event was canceled because literally nobody rsvp'd to the AI flier.

[brandedsalad]

Hi! Are you a Gw2 artist/content creator? Do you struggle getting High Def references of some stuff in game because it's too pixelated or those damn shaders are in the way? Struggling still with figuring out the details on that dress on your character? Maybe you just enjoy a bit lore and art watching! Did you know a lot of Anet artists and sculptors post their work for Guild Wars 2 on Art Station in High Res?

-> I have made a Google Docs compiling a list of works posted by Arena Net employees on Art Station! <- It includes model sheets, early concept art, 3d models, you name it!

I compiled these for myself and my friends at first, but I thought I might as well share! Hope it's useful to someone or that you learn something new about the behind-the-scenes of Guild Wars 2. If you have any suggestions to add and see any mistakes as well feel free to throw a DM!

Please use it I worked very hard on it
